CDFIs are an essential part of our nation’s financial
ecosystem. And we are here to stay. Our work takes us where mainstream
capital is scarce. We empower people to act in the best interests of
their communities, themselves, and future generations.

CDFIs invest.

We invest in rural, urban, and Native communities. In small
businesses and microenterprises, community health centers, and charter
schools. In affordable housing, home ownership, and consumer financial
health. In the American dream of opportunity for all.

The OFN Conference is the largest annual gathering in the
CDFI industry. This year, more than 1,300 practitioners, investors,
funders, researchers, and students will gather in our
nation’s capital to learn and celebrate the work that
we do.
